Summary:
"Chief minister is a responsible person and he should refrain from making any statement that has the potential to hurt crores of followers of Guru Nanak Dev," he said. CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) patriarch Parkash Singh Badal has urged Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh to refrain from issuing "extremely ill-advised and ill-timed" statements which might become an excuse for blocking the much awaited Kartarpur Sahib corridor.The former chief minister also warned Amarinder that his statements could sabotage the fulfilment of the aspirations and prayers of crores of Sikhs all over the world. "Punjab chief minister should leave the issue of assessing and dealing with security concerns to the Government of India, and should, and as chief minister of Punjab, limit himself to supporting the initiative taken by India and responded to by Pakistan for opening the corridor," said Badal. He was reacting to the CM's recent statements expressing fear that the proposed corridor could be misused by the Pakistan army and the ISI for fomenting trouble in India, particularly Punjab. "Amarinder's utterances run contrary to the Sikh sentiments," he added..
